Reviews for Rugged Ridge Elite Tail Light Guards for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Very detailed and easy to order

Product did exactly what it should have. I slid the rear end of the Jeep into a tree and the Elite Tail Guards took the hit. The impact snapped the screws that hold the entire housing onto the Jeep but the housing was not even scratched. Rugged Ridge sent 2 new screws to re-attach and it was like it never happened.

Great

Taillights fully protected...have to play with it to get it to fit properly but worth it

The look is great but installation for me went a little slow trying to button up the cage around the tail light. Just takes some patience and all went together. Really like this product.

Could not install the backplates due to my existing body arm. So picked up a couple bolts at my local hardware store. Than I bolted the front plate to the light. And mounted to grill with the light. Look great

Very nice quality product

If you plan on installing these, make sure you have complete access to the factory screws. I got these after my tire carrier was already in place and getting to the screws for the right side were a nightmare, took me an additional hour at least.

They come with all the screws needed to put in, however I found the screws that hold it to the vehicle were too fat a thread. On my 2017, I went back to the factory screws for the inner set. It looks alright and functions great.
Best part about these are that they encapsulate the light so impacts won't just push the guard into the lense.

Item is great, solid construction, easy to assemble and fits great on the jeep. The only issue is the provided screws do not fit the 2017 Jeep. This only applies to 2 screws closest to the tailgate. I did call Rugged Ridge and they sent replacements, but they sent philips head screws while the light comes with hex screws. No big deal but I kind of have OCD and hate having mismatch screws.

Prepped them the best I could for painting, but couldn’t get them right. I should have purchased the black ones.
